• Disappointing 20 April, 2008
In recent years, I have been increasingly disappointed with the information contained in LP's guides. In the case of this one, I purposefully chose _East Coast Australia_ instead of the thicker LP guide covering all of Australia. I figured I could get more detail about locations in that region with this region-specific book, but I was wrong. Morton National Park and neighboring Bungonia Gorge are not even mentioned. (The larger guide does cover Morton.) Canberra, the nation's capitol, gets a mere 4 1/2 pages of text. Some of the smaller towns surrounding Canberra (picturesque Yass, comfortable Queanbeyan, historic Cooma, Goulburn on the motorway between Canberra and Sydney) get no mention whatsoever. Several years ago, LP discovered that there was a dearth of decent travel guides and stepped in to change the situation. Rick Steves is supplanting LP (who supplanted Let's Go Europe earlier) in Europe now. I hope someone will come along and address the rest of the world soon. In the meantime, LP's Thorntree is a great web-based interactive resource that can be taken advantage of.
